Is the US Military Losing it's Edge? | ft. Dr. Sean McFate
If Americans are drawn into major armed conflict, can we win? The answer is unclear. The US Military hasn't won a war since the 1940s and seems blind to the changes happening all around them.

Instead, they are hell-bent on pursuing failed strategies no longer relevant in a world of drones, mercenaries, and shadow wars.

Mercenaries or Private Military Contractors? Privatising the State Monopoly of Violence from the Middle East and Beyond
In this webinar, Dr Sean McFate, Mr Jamie Williamson and Mr Doug Brooks will discuss how mercenaries and private military companies are changing the rules of war and peacebuilding. Since the second Iraq conflict, the growing presence of private military contractors has generated the need for effective public and private participation and re-statement of existing international law regarding the contractors’ oversight, enforcement and accountability, specifically in armed conflict environments.

So You Want Your Own Army?
After almost a decade in prison, Yevgeny Prigozhin was released into a new world. Gorbachev gave his last speech as leader of the Soviet Union; the Communist Party was outlawed.

Today, more than eighty years after WWII and thirty years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the number of armed conflicts being waged around the world has doubled. If the United States refuses to accept that we are, once again, living in dangerous, unpredictable times, it is inevitable that our military—until now undefeated—will fail.

The paid dogs of war
The world is a dangerous place. We no longer have the moral clarity and security of the cold war, or of earlier wars where we knew precisely who our enemy were. Today, as non state actors battle nations and each other, the asymmetry of conflict has created new opportunities for paid armies, and for mercenaries on all sides.
